Why it matters now

The event overlaps the autumn night market's final weekend (through October 18). Gupo Station and Gupo Market are not the festival grounds. A pedestrian riverwalk connects Metro Line 3 Gupo Station with the park's southern edge, but the lotus-field venue requires more walking. Festival hours are not proof of bridge access hours; bookings, individual performance times and weather changes require confirmation.

A large Nakdong River ecological park in Busan's Buk-gu, with riverside walks, cycle paths, sports grounds, lotus areas and seasonal events. The park is extensive, so arrival points differ by destination.
